Enjoy this free preview from the POST Wrestling Café — John Pollock and David Bixenspan review Video Killed The Radio Star, covering the sex tape scandal involving Bubba the Love Sponge and the late Hulk Hogan. They discuss the sex tape scandal involving Bubba the Love Sponge and Hulk Hogan, the legal fallout, Bubba’s rivals in the Tampa radio market, and how the documentary presents Bubba’s side of the story.  The landscape of the Tampa radio scene and Bubba’s role The rise of Bubba the Love Sponge and his popularity peak Leaving terrestrial radio for Howard 101 Hogan’s usage of Bubba’s platform and how often he was calling in Bubba’s explanation for so many cameras around his house The circumstances of the sex tape getting out  The biggest omission throughout the doc  Who are painted as the culprits? The FBI sting operation in December 2012 Gawker’s role and its demise after the trial  Tying Bubba to Donald Trump and a victim of cancel culture Bubba’s theory of why those responsible were not prosecuted  What happened in the last 90 minutes? Listen to the rest of this podcast: https://www.patreon.com/posts/145633304Synopsis:“When a sex tape featuring Hulk Hogan and the wife of his best friend —radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge® Clem—was leaked online, it ignited a media firestorm. You’ve read the headlines. Bubba recorded it. Gawker published it. This shocking documentary unpacks the lies, the betrayals, and the lawsuit that rewrote the rules of privacy. But the resulting fallout had much greater consequences than just Hogan crushing Gawker. You think you know the real story. You don’t know anything.”The DOUBLE SHOT is where John & Wai review things that don’t really fit on their other shows.
